So, thinking about doing a new build. Probably 75+gal range. However, we are struggling on trying to decide how we want to proceed. I have looked at Redsea tanks, Waterbox, IM, and also at just drilling a tank. I like how the IM tanks look, I just don't like how you have to buy their stand. What do you recommend? Where do you buy tanks that don't require you buy their stand?

If it was my 75 and i did it all over again, i like this one, it is the same width as mine, but the length is 12" shorter, but the tank is 6" deeper/taller. I have an auqeon.

These look amazing! There prices are so good too! Have you done business with them before?
I almost did but I went with another company because I was looking for a steel stand.
There are a ton of SCA 150 build threads on here though. I have not heard anything bad.
